sTAssiNo AFFAIR AT SANFORD.
Row in Which TWO Men are serI-
cusiy Injured.

SANFORD, Feb. 13.-At South Sanford vii
lage, two miles below here, is building
known as Sanborn's Hall, where the young
people from surrounding towns meet Satur-
day nights to indulge in the social dance.
Among the parties present last night were
Howard E. Moulton of South Sanford, Ivory
p. Allen of Oak Hill, and Walter Knights of
Alfred. During the evening, Allen, it is
said, went to Sanford village, got quart of
rum and gave some to Moulton and Knight.
Some time during the evening, Knights and
Moulton traded watches, and from this bad
blood began to show itself, and it was with
difficulty that q row was prevented in the
hall. After the Dance the above parties,
with several others, went to the house of
David Cram about quarter of a mile be-
low the hall. called Mr.. Cram up and went
in. This was about 1890 O'Clock Sunday
morning. Here the quarrel about the watch
trade was renewed, when Knights, to en-
phasize his remarks, drew clasp knife and
made a murderous assault upon Moulton,
stabbing him four times in the face, slashing
him in horrible manner. The combatants
were separated, and Moulton was taken to
DR.. j. III. Neal, who dressed his wounds.
Moulton is very weak from the loss of blood,
but will probably recover. Knights is re-
ported to be badly injured, but to what ex-
tent we cannot learn. No arrests have been
made, but the matter will no doubt be judi
cially investigated.

SEVERE WEATHER.
A Heavy Snow Storm In Montana
Fears OF Great Loss OF Life.

LIVINGSTONE, Montana, Feb. 12.-There
Is serious apprehension that there will be an
appalling loss of human life in Montana ter
ritory. Snow began falling in the middle of
November, and there is now more ON the
ground than at any time during the past ten
years. Most of the stage roads are entirely
closed up and trains are running at irregular
intervals, some being four or five days apart
The supply Of fuel is almost exhausted.
Three days ago coal was selling at $50 ton
at Fort Benton, and now it can hardly be
purchased at less price. Snow has drifted
to an enormous depth and people living at
the base of the mountain are in imminent
danger Of meeting horrible fate beneath an
avalanche or freezing to death.
Should another protracted snow storm oc-
cur it is believed that hundreds would sue
cumb to its terrors. AS it is more people
have been frozen to death this winter than
for quarter Of a century. The snow will
be long time disappearing as there was a
solid sheet Of ice an inch thick formed over
it late in January, and since that time nearly
two feet have fallen.
The cold has been intense, varying from 40
degrees below zero at Livingstone and
Helena to go degrees below at Fort Shaw and
Fort Assinaboine. In the vicinity of the Lit
tie Jennie and Grand Central mines on Bald
mountain the snow is eight feet deep on a
level and travel is impossible except on snow
shoes. The winter has also been unusually
severe in Dakota and great loss of life is
feared
